LOGANS POV

I don't remember any details of the ceremony, just a few vows about "coffee" and "eating vegetables from time to time". Rory looked as if she was having a hard job of keeping her act together and I kind of felt guilty. It was her mother's wedding date and I destroyed this unique event for her. But still, I was barely able to hold my shit together, too – this whole wedding stuff was only intensifying my mood. As soon as the ceremony was over I went to get me a drink.

"Wow, Logan Huntzberger, you of all people, here at a Gilmore wedding!" I heard a familiar voice saying. I turned around and was hugged by Steph. I tried to smile.

"Yeah, I didn't exactly knew about this wedding until the moment I stepped out of the car."

Steph nodded. "Have you seen her?" I laughed bitterly. I spotted her again, she was standing with Finn and Colin. Finn was holding the little girl and was engrossed talking to her. I felt my anger coming back. Of course they knew about that.

"And I guess you also talked to her?" Steph continued her interrogation. I nodded shortly.

"Any more information?" she was begging. I sighed.

"I was talking to that girl – her … daughter, then she appeared and things got … a little bit ugly. That's all." Now it was Steph's turn to sigh.

"Oh no, Logan. What did you say? Rory has been acting weird ever since she came back from searching Lori. Did you blame her? Because Logan –"

"Of course I blamed her, Steph!" I defended myself. "I mean, what do you expect from me? She moved on immediately after she said no to me and then she is having a family with another man. Of cause I am hurt!"

"Logan?" she asked, looking at me softly.

"Yes?"

"Do you love her?" One simple question.

"Yes." I was surprised. I admitted it. And admitting it to Steph was easy. Yes, I loved her. Of course I did, I would always love her. But what's the point of loving someone forever when you are not loved back?

"Okay. Then don't do that to her. Don't hurt her."

"I can't hurt her anymore, Steph. She has moved on. Clearly." I stated bitterly.

Steph hesitated. She sighed and said: "Logan, I don't know whether I am in the right position to say that. Right now, by telling you that, I am probably breaking all rules of friendship. Rory will kill me, but … I do think that you can hurt Rory because she hasn't completely moved on."

"But … the man … and her daughter …"

"Oh come on, Logan! The Smithson guy is such an idiot, selected by Emily Gilmore, so that Rory has a presentable date for the wedding. There have been a few arranged dates by Emily, she hopes that Rory will finally 'become reasonable'." What? They weren't together?

"But there surely have been other …?" I asked hesitantly, trying to get information of Rory's life without appearing completely pathetic – which was a challenge.

"To be honest, Rory has never been the date-girl. We practically had to drag her out of the house. She hasn't exactly enjoyed the company of many men. She was miserable after you left her and-"

"What? She said no to my proposal which is the most significant proof that she didn't wanted to share her life with me! Of course I left!"

Steph lifted one eyebrow. "Are you sure that's what she said? Did she say 'I don't love you and that's why I don't want you in my life'?" I looked at her confused. What was Steph up to?

Steph was about to lose her patience, at least that was how she looked like when she hissed at me: "Oh come on, Logan! Don't look at me like that! You do mean something to her, believe me. And I warn you, you better fix this thing between you."

But there was still the thing with her daughter which bothered me. How could she – I mean, how was I supposed to act normal when I knew exactly that she betrayed me? I could not forget about that and was just about to ask Steph, when a familiar voice interrupted us. "Huntzberger!"
